I agree with vast majority of the post, and it matches my experience. What I'm not sure I follow is the part about layered architecture, and what is offered as an alternative. The author quickly gets to a _conclusion_ that

> So, why pay the price of high cognitive load for such a layered architecture, if it doesn't pay off in the future?

where one of the examples is

> If you think that such layering will allow you to quickly replace a database or other dependencies, you're mistaken. Changing the storage causes lots of problems, and believe us, having some abstractions for the data access layer is the least of your worries.

but in my experience, it's crucial to abstract away — even if the interface is not ideal — external dependencies. The point is not to be able to "replace a database", but to _own_ the interface that is used by the application. Maybe the author only means _unnecessary layering_, but the way the argument is framed seems like using external dependency APIs throughout the entire app is somehow better.
Or better yet, be extra privacy conscious with everything you do.

Probably a stupid question, but why don't we encase the (undersea) cable in some metal container or something so that it would not be so easy to break? Is it due to economics? Is the constant fixing in the end cheaper than making it hard to break, or perhaps it needs maintenance anyway often enough to make it a hassle?

I've never been able to really get into any Star Trek series, with one major exception: Lower Decks

I'm sad to see it isn't getting renewed, but glad to see that it gets to stay canon, especially considering that it constantly mocks the extremes of what is Star Trek canon.
> We never hear of encroachment of precious farmlands by sprawling urban areas either.

I hear this a lot and trust it is a widespread occurrence. Here (gulf-coast FL), farms are commonly non-viable when sold to developers. Our tree-based crops seem especially prone to farm-busting economics, diseases and weather.
Informally:

Given that Lowerdecks is an extremely canon-oriented fan-service love letter to earlier shows that are known to be canon (ie, that it demonstrates consistency with obvious canon like TOS and TNG) the hypothesis that it's NOT in the main universe seems to be the one that requires a proliferation of assumptions and therefore more argumentation and data to support.
Why would Apple want to add E2EE to iCloud Photos without CSAM detection?
I already explained why it is different in my original post: the prompts are UI (and IMO a bad one at that). UI interactions are not copyrightable - you could copyright some sort of program/script akin to automation, but what would be copyrightable is the program/script itself, not the actions it takes.

You doing "something" doesn't mean that "something" is copyrightable - or that it should be (if anything, less things should be).

In grad school we built a lot of logic boards from scratch. They were used for submersible robots, and we had a 350,000 gallon water tank that we kept heated to 88 degrees. This was three stories above the ground in a metal building. You can't really air condition that, so in the summer it got quite hot.

It was not uncommon to return from lunch to find than an embedded computer board that had been working when you left wasn't any more. One way to debug them was to put them in the refrigerator for a while. If they then worked, you knew you had a bad solder joint or an IC that was on the verge of failing.
Canon is an imagination tool that allows consistent storytelling that increases in complexity and value over time.

My investments have always had fantastic results, far above what any index fund could render. I have been forced to involuntary "dollar cost averaging" by having to wait for the next salary in order to invest more. But "dollar cost averaging" is not an investment strategy, it's confusion on the highest level.

>I’m no longer interested in encouraging the design of more human-centered versions of these murderous technologies, or to inform the more humane administration of complex algorithmic systems that separate families, bomb schools and neighborhoods...

I'm not sure you can blame AI for that stuff. Presumably the separate families, bomb schools etc is being done by humans. Quite likely they also used pens and paper but you can't blame that either.
This blog article is nonsense reasoning trying to find a way to argue their personal desire has happened, but in fact, it hasn't.

The LD finale absolutely did not make Discovery non-canon. It simply showed that Discovery style klingons exist in other universes.

Assuming that because the Discovery klingons were shown in an alternate universe therefore Discovery must be an alternate universe would mean assuming everything shown from any multiverse that could map to another series would mean that series was also in an alternate universe.

Which is nonsense. Very shoddy reasoning.

I'm the type of person the Trumpers call a "Soy Boy", and I'm so sick of this hyperbole.

The main solution, if we listened 20 years ago, was that we should all stop using non-renewable energy (basically all energy at the time) and eat bugs.

We are at a point now where if we don't do anything, there's a decent chance current trends take us to a nearly ~100% renewable future in 40 years (if you count nuclear and hydro).

>90% of people on the planet will take the climate change that is most likely to come from our 20-years prior fossil fuel use and the coming 40 years, than to have gone back to living like indigenous people 20 years ago and remained there forever.

There isn't really a world in which we all stopped using fossil fuels and industrial farming and arrived at all the renewable tech we have today, and the ability to produce it at the scale we do now.

Climate change is real, so is progress. Most people are willing to make the trade.

We are so inferior to be able to turn this planet into Venus, like most of the climate Doomers say we're going to.

We likely won't even bring the Earth back to it's typical temperature range - which is MUCH hotter over the last ~450M years than it is now.

If you're telling me we're going to cataclysmically destroy the planet because we might bring temperatures close to their average over the last ~450M, I'm going to be skeptical.
With immutable distros, the upgrade becomes more of an atomic operation than what is offered by more incremental package manager updates.

Nix offers the same guarantees. The point was that you don't need the whole system als a single unit (e.g. an image). A system can also be a tree of immutable output paths in a store (where a single output path often, but not necessarily, corresponds to a package).

In that model a system is basically an output path in the store (in reality it's a bit more complex) and has other output paths as transitive dependencies.

Upgrades/downgrades are atomic, because they just consists of selecting a different output path that represents a system. Upgrading creates a new output path that represents a system (either by downloading from a binary cache or building that output path) and booting into that output path. Rolling back consists of booting into the previous output path that represents a system.

Also, even if the risk analysis was right, it didn't justify an "extremely improbable" conclusion. If the global airline industry operates a total of about 50 million flights per year, and the average duration is about 2 hours, then we stand a good chance of seeing an accident like this every few years.

Reading through that issue MDN was almost definitely in the right. Also calling them a long time contributor might be a bit off, from what I can see they did one typofix and added one link: https://github.com/mdn/content/commits?author=WebReflection
> the compiler can tell you that there needs to be a semicolon right here

I can see that this is an annoyance, but does it really increase cognitive load? For me language design choices like allowing arbitrary arguments to functions (instead of having a written list of allowed arguments, I have to keep it in my head), or not having static types (instead of the compiler or my ide keeping track of types, I have to hold them in my head) are the main culprits for increasing cognitive load. Putting a semicolon where it belongs after the compiler telling me I have to is a fairly mindless exercise. The mental acrobatics I have to pull off to get anything done in dynamically typed languages is much more taxing to me.
Oh wow! Thanks for the clarification! Is the case same with JRuby?
the last big one was BABA.
I agree up until the end. Languages that let you change the syntax can result in stuff where every program is written in its own DSL. Ruby has this issue to some extent.
I'm burnt out on this front. Maybe I'll try again some day
Language with OOP like c++ and similar (rust/java/etc) is ultra-complexity builtin the syntax itself which spills to their compilers (basically clang(apple)|gcc). That reasons alone is enough to do GUI with other languages.
Personally plant some trees.
> both started the argument with the terrible first reply and escalated the argument with this accusation.

Why was the first reply terrible? They stated the policy and closed the PR. They did so professionally and calmly, and the author immediately threw a fit. Then the MDN person dug into the project more and found specific flaws and pointed them out as further evidence for why the policy (which they already cited and which should have been enough) exists.

> The person from MDN was saying factually incorrect stuff

Do you have specific examples?

> Most of the issue seems to be a systemic problem at Mozilla though.

Frankly, reading through the thread it feels like you started with this as the assumption and had cast the MDN maintainer as the bad guy before the exchange had even started. Mozilla has lots of problems and I'm the first to point them out, but this exchange doesn't demonstrate any of them—it just demonstrates how hard it is in open source to deal with entitled aspiring contributors.
Disagree with first example. If that condition is only used once, adding a variable introduces more state to keep track of, that could just be a comment next to the conditional.

No one says they aren’t being researched. But there sure is an extremely disproportionate amount of time and money being put into a few things. Try publishing something in like classification or detection using a pretrained huge model or without lots of compute (more than 1 node of A100s). You’ll just get asked for more datasets and why your 10M parameter model isn’t better than a 1B model even if it’s better than their 100M model. There’s always reason go criticize and so there’s a compete arms race which is unnecessary
Why is that any easier than having comments in the code that describe each part? In languages that don't allow closures, there's no good way to pass state between the seven functions unless you pass all the state you need, either by passing all the variables directly, or by creating an instance of a class/struct/whatever to hold those same variables and passing that. If you're lucky it might only be a couple of variables, but one can imagine that it could be a lot.
I’ve actually had some strange anomalies happen like this on a couple laptops I have.

Question for pros: I'm a Python dev who recently started diving into C++, hoping to build plugins for DCCs. However, every time I read these threads, I feel as if I'm on the completely wrong path. Positive views like the OP's are rare.

While I understand that not everyone gets to work on a John Carmack level codebase, is working on a C++ project really as challenging and unrewarding as it seems? Is the productivity that low, and do every step feel so difficult that they eventually drive developers away?
Imagine for the sake of argument TOS and TNG are 99% aligned on storytelling and need a patch to make the 1% agree, and that patch is provided in TNG retroactively.

Versus a new show comes along that is 20% aligned and would need an 80% patch to bring it into alignment.

As an executive trying to revitalize a property where fans are complaining about lack of alignment, do you understand why you might just erase the 20% rather than create 80% more of an otherwise-failed project?
I will argue that in the US Christmas is in part a secular holiday - given its sorta pagan origins that makes total sense to me. It's a solstice feast basically.
Thanks for your idea! You touch on an important part of the problem: the product does not 'just work', it only works as long as we keep working on it. Apart from the obvious (keep the server running), it requires an elaborate daily maintenance routine that has been performed since mid-2018 literally each and every day.

Generation 3.x of the app is sold with a remaining promised support for the next 12 months.

How can we increase prices if the lifespan of the product is reduced with every passing day?

Basically it was insanity to ever sell such a type of product without 'subscription'...
Yeah, that's fair - added "Adapted from pISSStream by Jännät" just now.

Right, most analyses of cores might not find small traces of hydrogen. But if someone looking for natural gas drilled into a sizable hydrogen deposit, it would be hard not to notice that the methane had way too much hydrogen.

From my perspective, the feeling is people at large don't care. Likely because it's difficult, uncomfortable, expensive, or all 3.

Do I wish it wasn't that way? Yes. But what if it stays that way? Is there a solution then?

I'm not saying the fight shouldn't be had. I am saying that—at least in the USA—change doesn't really appear to be a priority unless the $ is there.
In languages (both natural and machine languages) a certain amount of syntax redundancy is a feature. The point of syntax "boilerplate" is to turn typos into syntax errors. When you have a language without any redundant syntactical features, you run the risk that your typo is also valid syntax, just with different semantics than what you intended. IMHO, that's much worse than dealing with a missing semicolon error.

> Nobody writes better filesystems

People tried: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transactional_NTFS and https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/win32/fileio/depre...

"[Transactional NTFS (TxF)] was introduced with Windows Vista as a means to introduce atomic file transactions to Windows. It allows for Windows developers to have transactional atomicity for file operations in transactions with a single file, in transactions involving multiple files, and in transactions spanning multiple sources – such as the Registry (through TxR), and databases (such as SQL). While TxF is a powerful set of APIs, there has been extremely limited developer interest in this API platform since Windows Vista primarily due to its complexity and various nuances which developers need to consider as part of application development. As a result, Microsoft is considering deprecating TxF APIs in a future version of Windows"
You have to encase the entire length of the cable, which can be hundreds of miles, but the attacker only needs to attack a single spot. The nordstream pipeline attacks have shown that planting explosives on undersea infrastructure isn't exactly hard, so you end up paying an enormous price to add a knee-high barrier for a would-be attacker.
I find "is_enabled(x)" to be easier to reason about than

if (x.foo || x.bar.baz || (x.quux && x.bar.foo))

Even if it's only ever used once. Functions and methods provide abstraction which is useful for more than just removing repetition.
Another way of saying this is that they share creative ownership with the corporation managing the commons, like open source software.
I used my 401k to invest in MSTR. In fact, when I figured out what Saylor was doing, I put all of it in MSTR, in 2021. I'm up 700-800% right now.

It wasn't an easy ride, but long term it was the right choice for me. It isn't that much much money because I stopped contributing to it about 15 years ago (instead opting to do what you said, buy BTC directly), but my 401k has never seen that sort of growth.

With the fairly recent split, I can now sell covered call options. I generally sell OTM and then use the proceed from that to buy more MSTR. My goal is to compound the stock, not dollars. It will split again, enabling me to compound again.

Once you spend the time understanding what he is doing, you will understand the value in investing in both. It definitely takes an acceptance that Bitcoin won't go to zero, but if you can get past that, as he has done, then the risk profile changes dramatically.

Your resume looks fine, and you're getting to interviews.

Why have you been rejected from 20 phone screens and 10 interviews? Can you tell whether you are meeting the technical bar? If not, maybe you are missing something about how you present yourself in interviews.

As for suggestions, make a list of a dozen people you've worked with in the past who enjoyed working with you. Reach out to them and ask if their company is hiring (and don't bring up how desperate you are).

Overall though, there's something you're not telling us, because there's something you're not seeing. The absolute best thing to do is too get a friend to do a mock interview, to try to uncover what keeps going wrong.

Depends, wokespotting is a complex sport, and I only trust professionals to do it.

I tried myself, but failed. At first I thought it meant the movie was either feminist, antiracist and/or Marxist, but it then became clear it was actually an union of unpopular and one of the three criteria (see no time to die, or guardian 3 that are suddenly not woke). So from this, Star Trek, despite being the most Marxist utopia ever, isn't woke, since it's popular.

But Barbie is quite popular and still woke. But Alien is not despite featuring the biggest Mary Sue. Like I said, to complex for me, I leave wokespotting to professionals.

Building the plastic christmas tree.. with my cat.

First taking out the branches from the top shelves of the closet. What was supervised by her - every branch had to be checked and smelled. After the branches were remowed she would laudly meow to be put on the shelf. For inspection.

Then she would demand to be taken down (or would jump out with a loud thud) and lie down on a branches.

Finally after some discussion the christmas tree could be build. She would supervise the whole process, look at the lamps, inspect the decorations with paws and lie observing them. Happy meows and loud purrs all the time.

Then she would lie near the christmass tree in triumph.

I miss my cat. She was very friendly and talkative
